What The Hell is up with their slow bowel movement running speed? Timberwolves can keep up with them, it is pathetic!

That's a 180 engine in a 30 tonner. Though, the Timberwolf cannot actually keep up to 107 KMh, since they only travel 89.


Wait for some of the fast Lights and Meds if that's your preference.

pretty sure the timber can go 96ish once it is tweaked out.

Yeah, and the Kit Fox can go 106.

Don't worry, the Clans have plenty of fast lights.

Nope, 81/89.

Use the IS lights if you want fast. Ryoken does go just as fast as the Cute Foxes though.

I find the speed acceptable. What is not is the complete inability to paint the vast majority of the chassis with color in the mechlab. Clan mechs are bare metal. Only the Invasion Prime variants have any covering!

Buying a camo pattern can fix that (or using the polygon camo that came "free" with invasion preorders).

@Carrie. The pods are still bare metal even with a pattern. Also the one-shot camo is highway robbery. All I want is a basic green like the concept art.

In-game matching the sexiness of concept art? In MY Mechwarrior? It's less likely than you think.

Play it like a medium and give support to the fat guys. Great support mech!

every mech has a weakness... the kitfox can carry some serious firepower for a light.. the trade-off is speed. i got 3 kills and 500+ damage in mine.. I've not been able to do that with a Spider as easily as I did in that fight.

The fox's flexibility is what makes it fun.

ECM support with ERML, PPCs, AC5, AC10, SRM/LRMs, etc.. you can literally put in anything including the big guns like AC20 and gauss (tho limited ammo and no ECM).
